    Stop shooting people, ivestigate who's poisoning those people. The government has heard before one civilian saying that there was no cholera in their area untill after they had seen a health cure prior to outbreak of cholera in their area.Set up road blocks and start searching what Zimbabweans did last time. That cholera is a man made.( Read Magazine Africa Watch of April,2012, from page 52. Note; The first cholera in Moz begun in Maputo. some people died in Maputo and some died in Hotels in South Africa;- believe me the ones that died in hotels and theone who died in Maputo accidentaly poisoned themselves.
